Orgy of Narcissus (Repetitive Patterns 1–3) captivate viewers with their intricate patterns and compelling imagery, offering a profound exploration of the contemporary cultural phenomenon of “memes” distributed over the Internet, where their meaning can rapidly change, becoming incomprehensible to outsiders. Orgy of Narcissus (Repetitive Patterns 1–3) are related to the larger installation Narcissus Orgy (2019), consisting of 58 woven images on canvas from Amorales’ retrospective solo exhibition "The Factory" at Stedelijk Museum in 2019.

Carlos Amorales is a multidisciplinary artist who explores the limits of language and translation systems to venture into the field of cultural experimentation. He uses graphic production as a tool to develop linguistic structures and alternative working models that allow new forms of interpretation and foster collectivity. In his projects, Amorales examines identity construction processes, proposes a constant re signification of forms present in his work, and provokes a clash between art and pop culture.

His research processes are complex - they are based in an ample repertoire of empirical methodologies to develop extensive projects that conjugate historical, cultural, and personal references. His practice expands to diverse media such as drawing, painting, sculpture, or collage; as well as performance, installation, animation, sound art, film, writing, a.o.

Born in 1970 in Mexico City. He studied in Amsterdam at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten In 1995. He has exhibited in art institutions like MUAC and Tamayo Museum in Mexico, Philadelphia Art Museum and BAMPFA in USA, and represented Holland and Mexico at the Venice Biennial in 2003 and 2017. His work is part of museum collections such as Tate Modern, MoMa, the Guggenheim Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, the Boijmans van Beuningen and MUAC.
